The contract with Tech Data comes abruptly after Union Investment awarded T-Systems a main contract in order to move the asset manager’s classic IT systems into the German cloud.

“Cloud computing is an essential part of Tech Data’s strategy – for our own IT systems and e-business tools in order to gain flexibility and innovation power”, explains Tech Data’s CIO Europe Philippe Bosquier.
